View MoreNATHALIE DAVIES’ POV-Sir Calix was running through my mind all night–what he had told me.If I was to be fired, it would mean I had to pay my debts to him. This job was all I could count on for my mother and me for other expenses.I shook my head and dismissed the worry. I am still here at Sir Calix’s mansion, there was still hope I would stay. And instead of worrying, I should be working on a way to feed Brianna.When I left the room, I went straight to Brianna’s room. I knocked on the door three times before entering.I felt scared again as soon as I saw Brianna hadn’t touched her food that I had brought her last night before going to bed after her father had talked to me. But my worry for her prevailed. Even though she didn’t feel like eating, Brianna was definitely starving at this hour.I took the food tray and upon seeing Brianna, who was sleeping; I sighed silently.I left her room and went straight to the dining room.I was surprised to see Sir Calix eating breakfast, drink
NATHALIE DAVIES’ POV-I can’t deny that I smiled at Esther’s last words to me before heading to Briana’s room. It makes me feel like I’m a worthy person–in this job, even though I don’t know how my resume ended up with Sir Calix. Arriving outside Brianna’s room, I was about to knock, but it opened from the inside and I saw Ma’am Veronica.I went to the left side to make way for her.Once she stepped out in the room, she faced me, crossing her arms. “No matter what Calix calls you, the truth won’t change that you’re not right for her, so if you’re under the illusion that she’ll like you, stop it. Calix won’t like someone like you.” She said with a sneer.I wish I could let him know that I never thought about that. Being betrayed by the people I love, it’s like I’m afraid to love again. Maybe it’s because I’m just like this.“Try to hurt even the tip of my niece’s hair, and I will hold you accountable.”Maybe that’s why ma’am Veronica’s concern about Sir Calix is for Briana. She doesn
NATHALIE DAVIES’ POV-I glanced at Briana’s condition. She looked like a scared kitten as she looked back and forth between Sir Calix and Ma’am Veronica.I wanted to intervene and take Briana away so she wouldn’t witness this incident, but I couldn’t do it until Sir Calix gave me permission to take his daughter away. I am not her mother who has the right to take her under any circumstances.“Do you understand what you’re saying, Calix?” Ma’am Veronica had a grin on her lips. “Oh, do you know what you’re saying?”It seems that ma’am Veronica had something to say that Sir Calix could not answer those questions.“I doubt it.” Ma’am Veronica answered her own questions. “I’ll take my niece to her room first. I’ll talk to her first to make her understand that the only person she trusts in this mansion won’t be able to come for now.”Now I understand a little. Looks like Ma’am Veronica is the only person Briana trusts.Ma’am Veronica raised her hand towards Briana. “Come on, baby. I’ll tak
NATHALIE DAVIES’ POV-“Our baby Briana!” Ma’am Veronica called her niece sweetly. She excitedly approached Briana and hugged her.When Briana and I met our eyes, I sweetly smiled.For some unknown reason I can’t fathom, my heart beat faster with joy when I saw Briana.“Nathalie, are you okay?” Esther asked me in a whisper.I looked at Esther in surprise; her smile and nod followed. “Yes, I’m okay.”“Why are you crying?”My eyes widened. She gestured toward my face, afterward I stroked my cheek.There is part of my cheek that is wet. That’s why my eyes are hurting because of tears that I didn’t realize.“Are you sure you’re okay?” Esther asked me reassuringly.“Yes. I recalled something upon seeing Briana.” I confessed to her once more.It wasn’t hard to tell Esther the truth. It is possible that in this mansion, where I didn’t know what could happen to me, she was always there guiding me like a mother.Esther rubbed my back. She was silent, but her facial expression showed she unders
NATHALIE DAVIES’ POV-Fired? I haven’t started my job yet. Does that mean I’ll have right away to pay off all my debts to Sir Calix? What about my mother? I don’t have the money to pay off all the money he spent on my mother’s hospital bills yet.I’d rather work off all my debts because I have nothing to pay Sir Calix.“I can’t, Ma’am… I need this job.”“Do I look like I care? Get out of here before I call security and send you to jail. Get out!” She shouted.“No, ma’am. I need to talk to Sir Calix first.” I said bravely, even though inside I was shaking with fear.I can’t lose my job immediately, let alone end up in jail.“For a maid, you have the nerve to disobey me. Why, what are you holding? Are you flirting with my fiancé?”“No, ma’am. We have–”“You have, Calix what?!”Before I could explain, he grasped my hair. I felt the pain of my scalp from the force of his entanglement in my hair. “Whoever you are, you’re a flirt. You’ll regret flirting with my fiancé.”“Ma’am, I am not fli
NATHALIE DAVIES’ POV-After mommy’s discharge, William and I took her to the airport, along with the two female nurses who will be with her, to go to Hawaii.I gave the excuse to mommy that our house is being renovated, so she can’t go there first and to get her to agree to go to Hawaii. If he recovers here too, I won’t be able to take care of him and I won’t be able to visit him because of my work. It’s too heavy on my heart that I can’t watch over mommy in this situation. I just think that the most important thing is that mommy is in a good place and the private nurses will take her care of better she is with. Right now, I’m thinking about Sir Calix’s daughter. It is said that Briana will return from the vacation of Sir Calix’s parents today.I felt nervous. What if I couldn’t do my job?

NATHALIE DAVIES’ POV-Once my mom came out of the operation room, her whole body was shaking. She smiled after she glimpsed me.“Nurse, why is my mom’s body shaking?” I question nervously.“The anesthesia is still affecting her. After four to three five, its effects will wear off.”I noticed Sir Calix's glimpse on his wristwatch. “You will be responsible for me if Ma’am Margaret is harmed.”“Y-Yes, Sir.” The five nurses pushing Mommy’s hospital bed answered.I forgot to look at or invite Sir Calix. I was so worried that I just followed the nurses who were with my mother. When we got into the elevator, Sir Calix didn’t get in.“I will take the next elevator.” Sir Calix said when he noticed we were looking at him and waiting.One nurse pressed the close button. The elevator stopped twice, but no one got on to take Mommy to her room immediately.Once the nurses moved Mommy to the hospital bed, they told me again what the doctor had said a while ago about my mom’s fasting. They also expl
NATHALIE DAVIES’ POV-“Sir William, is there a problem?” I asked when I caught him in the living room looking at his phone with a frown on his forehead.“Nothing.” he tilted his head and smiled. “I just seemed to be deaf to Sir Calix’s questions.” Sir William shook his head while grinning. “By the way, I thought you were resting? Are you going somewhere?”“I was planning to go see my mother at the hospital. I can’t rest until I’m sure she’s okay.”Sir William glanced at his wristwatch. “It’s a bit late at night. I’ll take you to the hospital.”“Really?”For now, I’ll do all the saving first to save up, plus I need to get to the hospital faster so I can catch up with my mother before her surgery.“Of course. Smith’s hospital isn’t that far.”“Thank you very much, Sir William.”“Don’t call me Sir anymore. You can just call me William.”“Yes Si–William.”———————While on the flight, I felt mixed and excited. Although I’m nervous about my mother’s surgery results, I’m excited because her

It seems she hasn’t been to the police station. Her father has already passed away.I put down the folder containing Nathalie’s information on the table. I had her investigated and it seems everything she said was true, that she just happened to see my daughter. But I still want to be sure.I called Wallace’s contact number. “Is what I asked you to do sorted out?” I asked the moment he answered the call.“Yes. Nathalie is with the presentation you requested, also she has been assigned almost all the work. She worked overtime because I disapproved of her work.”“Good. I owe you this one.”“Don’t mention it. Are you going to the party later?”“No. I have something else to do.”“Do something else or are you going to stalk again?” I heard his laugh on the other line.“I am not a stalker.
